I am interested in various topics at the intersection of ecology and evolution. In my research I use rotifers as model organisms for experimental studies at the individual and population level. Rotifers are ideally suited for this, because populations of thousands can be kept in small containers in the lab, while single individuals can still be handled conveniently. Their short generation times allow experimental investigations of individual life history patterns as well as population studies on microevolution over dozens of generations. For genetic characterization I mainly use DNA barcoding (COI and ITS1 genes) and AFLPs.
